With warmer weather approaching, many will flock to Lake Huron. However, the lake’s rip currents and high waves can be dangerous, even for experienced swimmers. Sanilac County’s Don King witnessed this firsthand during a last year’s rescue at Port Sanilac’s break wall, where multiple people struggled in the strong currents. King has since pushed for legislation to require life jackets on piers. While the state urges beachgoers to learn how to escape currents and stay safe, no action has been taken on the proposal yet.
